Triglycerides Meaning - #17939
A few weeks ago, I had a routine blood test, and my doctor mentioned that my triglycerides were high. I wasn’t feeling any obvious symptoms, but I was told that this could increase my risk of heart disease. The only advice I got was to eat healthy and exercise more, but there was no clear explanation about how serious this could be. I started looking into it myself and learned that triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood, which the body stores for energy. Apparently, if they stay high for too long, it could lead to complications like fatty liver disease, heart problems, or even diabetes. Doctor, I want to understand the Ayurvedic perspective on triglycerides. What does Ayurveda say about high triglyceride levels, and what could be the root cause? My diet isn’t completely unhealthy, but I do eat late at night sometimes and often skip meals during the day. Could this be contributing to my high triglycerides? I also drink tea with sugar almost every day and occasionally eat fried foods, but I wouldn’t consider my diet extremely bad. I have read that Ayurveda offers natural ways to control high triglycerides through dietary changes, herbal remedies, and detox therapies. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs like Guggulu, Arjuna, or Triphala that help in lowering triglycerides naturally? If so, how should they be used? I’ve also heard about Panchakarma treatments for balancing excess fat in the body—would that be helpful for me? I also want to know about Ayurvedic diet recommendations for controlling triglycerides. Are there foods that naturally help in breaking down excess fat in the bloodstream? Should I avoid dairy or carbohydrates completely? Doctor, please guide me on how I can manage my triglycerides through Ayurveda and avoid the long-term risks of heart disease.
